In 1316, the canon of Saint-Junien, Étienne Maleu, concluded the historiographical work he had spent several years writing, having accomplished what he had set out to do: record the history of his chapter from the year 500 so as to preserve memory of the facts he considered important. To achieve this, he used a wide variety of sources – hagiographical, historical, diplomatic, and oral – and he selected the information very specifically. This study is primarily interested in Étienne Maleu's sources, his historical methods, and his objectives. His work should be restored to its singular space and context, that is, Limousin at the end of the fourteenth century, a land where medieval historiography was particularly flourishing. Maleu was heir to a long tradition of Limousin chroniclers, and it is fitting that his name should be preserved, since his work is the only source today that deals with Saint-Junien from the time of its origins.
